Baby Sweaters

 I wrote last month about a blessing dress I made. This is the little sweater to go with it. They wanted a long sleeve one since its still cool in Washington. 

  

Without knowing how big the baby will be for the blessing I made the sleeves long, figure they could roll them up like this if they were too long.

This isn't the first time I've made this sweater, I used this pattern three times. I like it so much because you can make it look completely different with a few tweaks. 

I forgot to take a picture of the one I made my niece, so my sister in law took one for me.

 Here's another little sweater I like both with and without sleeves.

A Blessing Dress

I haven't accomplished much on my pin list and this is partially why...25+ hours of crocheting. 

Its for a friend's grand baby. This is it with a slip underneath it.

It has a matching bonnet to go with it.

The total set, minus the little sweater I'm going to make for it since I didn't like the one I finished.

I really enjoy crocheting christening/blessing dresses. This is the first time I've used this pattern that I found in this booklet. Like always I tend to change up the dress a little bit...to personalize it, I shortened the sleeves and put the bow of the ribbon in the back.
